Sun stuffs bigger kit in Backbox

Sun's containerised Blackbox data centres can now have larger data centre servers and storage installed at the expense of losing one standard rack. A Blackbox shipping container in its S20 format has a row of four standard 19-inch racks, 78.1cm deep and aligned sideways along each side of the container. In the new D20 format …

Hardly Earth-shaking news!

Second Job

Matt,

How much is IBM paying you to constantly bash Sun? Sure, this article doesn't say much, but that's not exclusive to Sun.

Bill because he has all the money he needs.

re: Second Job

Never mind Matt dude, he's a troll. He once claimed to offer hardcore technical insight along with this posts and blah blah, but I'll say it again; he's about as trollish as Webster Phreaky. Just less entertaining :-)

Oh, and nice news about Blackbox BTW, thank you Reg.

@Matt

Matt - are you an IBM marketing droid? Or didn't Sun want to employ you in the recent past? You're Sun attacks are becoming boring - maybe you can do some work for a change and tell us who the leader in the (yawn) "containerised IT" market is.

@Anonymous Coward - are you Matt in drag?

Paris because she is al about marketing.
